Yeah! two or three weeks is definatly on target. I am used to "on target" being for about four years in the MSFS world when talking about addon developement. Airsimmer A320 has been on the "finishline" ,"soon there" for 4,5 years! haha I think the Saab will be a great addon and as i love 3d cockpits i will buy every plane for X-plane that has one!

Thanks for the answer about the FMS. The answer to me is of great satisfaction. What i want is realistic and accurate airplanes like the ones in the real world, and it seems this is going to be made in this way. 747-200 uses older INS system and some other navigation with the Saab and this is the way it is simulated. =) The important thing for me is that it is simulated with accuracy, i don´t want and FMC if the airplanes don´t have them by original =) I can´t belive how short workprocess you developers for X_plane has comparet to the MSFS world. 747-200 out this year maybe?!?!? This is great news! Even if an aircraft hasn´t all 100% function i like the upgrades that can make them more realistic in the future if something isn´t included in the base pack. I will buy all upgrades due to i want as most systems as possible. Happy developlent and thanks for answers!

Yeah x-plane has a bright future infront of it. I have tried the x737 but without the 3D cockpit for me makes no joy, the feeling of being there can only be with a fully-functioned 3d cockpit in my opinion. I have looked at aircraft that are out there like the MU-2 (looks great), but for me it is all about the heavy metal. My dreamfleet is 737,A320,CJR,767,757,777,747 I hope one day i will have all these aircraft with complex systems and great looking 3D cockpits! Happy flying!

Hello all, i am new to X-Plane and comes from the FSX world. I have never liked FSX due to performance but i havent been interested in X-plane either untill 2 month ago. Last time i tried a X-plane demo (about 2 years ago) there was not so much to be impressed in my mind. But now with the CRJ-200 (future A320) and the Saab (future 747) i am no more in FSX and it is X-plane ALL the way. This thing that i like the most in X-plane is that i feel that the aircraft is really flying and second the lightning. The lightning of X-Plane bring real life into the simulator. I am only using 3D aircrafts like PMDG and that is the reason i never tried X-plane. But things are about to change. The CRJ and the Saab/747 looks amazing!!! This is the future! By the way, the most exciting things with X-plane is also the development time, for PMDG it takes 3-4 years to come up with and aircraft and i find it faster development for X-plane. The only question i have is: will it have a realistic FMS? able to follow waypoints and make autoland(if the aircraft has functions like that)? Once again, amazing work and i will buy both the Saab and the 747 direct when it comes out on the market!

Wow john, i ithink that is one superb idéa. then you can crosscheck for the "Basic" operations like, pre-engine start, take-off-landing etc etc. A really good way of confirming that things are the same. If i can help in some way with this, please send me a PM.

This is a DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This aircraft is the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE IN ANY SIMULATOR!!!!!!!!!! Imagine being on approach to LDDU at night in this baby with all the lighting 8) I hope you can make some sort of deal with Austin, i love X-Plane and think it is much better than FSX, but X-plane has lack of Good PMDG Aircraft with 3D Cockpit (untill now!) For me, the most importand thing is the Aircraft system and visuals and 3D cockpit. Then comes the graphics of the simulator. When this baby comes to X-plane im gona throw my FSX dvd in the trashcan! Can´t wait for this GORGEOUS AIRPLANE!!!! Great work!!!!!!!
